Understanding 'I am not this body' is the essential beginning of spiritual knowledge and liberation from endless cycles of birth and death.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: Nice. So how it is reacting amongst the public?
Yadubara: Well, the people seem to like it, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Yadubara: I was surprised, but the karmīs, their attention is held throughout the film. They seem to enjoy it very much. And several people have said that "It is very clear now that we're not the body." Prabhupāda: It will be a great service if you can educate.

To keep them as animal is a great sin. Our Svarūpa Dāmodara has got this film?
Prabhupāda: Oh. [Aside: Did you see? Hmm.] We can produce more detailed film later on.
Yadubara: You asked us to do that, make that one point, that we're not the body. Prabhupāda: Hmm? Yadubara: In Māyāpur last year you asked me to make that one point, that we're not the body. So we tried to do that only. Prabhupāda: That's nice. That can be, and this..., done that. Yadubara: Do you think there should be any sequel to this, to this film? In which, to carry on the philosophy? Prabhupāda: No, you have given the evolution of from fish to plant, plant to insect, bird, animal.
That can be little elaborated, evolution. Then human being, full consciousness. Now, this is the chance for understanding God. And if they are still kept in darkness like the animals, just see, dangerous civilization—refusing the opportunity to the humanity.
